The financial savings in the public sector are nonetheless strengthened by 6 billion kronor this year to a deficit of 90 billion kronor.

"It is the municipal sector that accounts for the reinforcement as a result of lower pension costs, while the savings deteriorate in the state", says Ann-Sofie Öberg, deputy forecast manager at ESV in a press release.

The agency writes that the structural savings are at the limit for a clear deviation.
